So, I stayed at my house during Katrina. Fortunately, my house is far enough away from water and it's okay. Lost a few trees, though, one of them on top of my dad's truck. But the house I grew up in, that we just sold last week has flood water in it. And most of the block is completely gone. I can't imagine how the Gulf Coast can regrow for ( Read more... )

My history teacher is hilarious. On Friday, he gave out awards for good attendance. The award was a Baby Ruth and a yellow highlighter. Today after we finished our final he gave everyone a "Course Completion Pen" which was just a regular blue pen. Maybe he just has lots of extra office supplies or something.

So...Sigma Chi Derby Days was last night. We got 2nd place...that stinks. Phi Mu won, but they didn't follow the theme. Whatever, we looked awesome anyway. Dinner at TGI Friday's with almost the whole chapter followed. Today I'm going to Justin's prom. And I'm really excited that I'm saving money because my big sister is doing my hair. I ( Read more... )

Beautiful day today. Why is it so pretty outside now that I'm not on Spring Break anymore? Maybe tomorrow afternoon I'll go lay out because it's supposed to be a pretty day tomorrow too. Hopefully I still won't feel sick like I do now. It stinks. A lot. Okay, bed time.

Wow, haven't written in a while. I've been so busy I haven't even called my parents in a week. So, if you haven't heard, my grandfather died in January. My mom has decided that we are going to move into his house and sell ours. It will be really strange for me because I have lived in the same house my entire life. I don't know how to move. I' ( Read more... )

Hey guys...I need to ask a favor of everyone. My grandpa had to go to the hospital yesterday afternoon because he had a blood clot in his lung and had to stay overnight. I don't really know the whole story yet, but he's gotten worse and my dad told me to come home immediately after classes tomorrow and my aunt and uncle are driving in from ( Read more... )

My Christmas break turned out to be a very good one. Justin and I went to Florida on a little vacation and stayed with Dana one night and then drove to Tampa to spend a few nights with his aunt and uncle. We went to Busch Gardens and a few other fun things. I also went to a Mardi Gras Ball last night which was really neat. One of my parents' ( Read more... )

You know, getting your wisdom teeth taken out isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, I can't really eat anything and I look like a chipmunk, but there hasn't been much pain. And I may even get to eat Christmas dinner tomorrow. It really doesn't feel like Christmas to me though. Maybe it's because I've been locked up in my house for the ( Read more... )
